Weekly UpdatesDuring the month of November, Holy Rosary students celebrated two important dates in the Catholic Church. Our First Grade honored the saints in heaven with their Saint’s Presentation. A month before November 1st, All Saint’s Day, each child chose the saint for whom they were named and researched that life. On presentation, day dressed as their saint, the children processed into Epiphany of Our Lord Church and took their safely distanced place in a pew. Each student then proceeded to the pulpit, read their short bio, and shared the picture of their saint. Fr.
Quindlen, representing the Board of Governing Pastors of Holy Rosary Regional, myself, and the children’s families enjoyed the presentations. Their teacher, Mrs. Donna Koneski did a wonderful job preparing her class.
Holy Rosary’s Middle School students created a Remembrance Wall to commemorate the faithful departed. With All Souls’ Day celebrated on November 2nd, the students designed candles for a bulletin board. The candles were decorated with the names of deceased relatives and
friends. They also included the souls in purgatory and the victims of COVID-19. Even though this was a Middle School project, the entire student body was invited to add candles to the wall. Mrs. Fran Luthy, our Religion Curriculum Coordinator spearheaded this project with the students.

Monthly Letter
Dear Parents and Guardians,
In the month of November, when we traditionally set aside time to count our blessings, many of you might be wondering what to be thankful for this year, because of the trials you may be enduring. Some of you or your family members have suffered with the virus and its lingering effects; some of you are working through financial setbacks because of COVID, and most of you are juggling so many things that you are exhausted.
This year the things we are thankful for may look different. For example, we are thankful for the extra time we are spending with our children and other family members that our pre-COVID busy lives did not allow.
The teachers and staff of Holy Rosary are grateful to be back in school, and I appreciate each of them, who are diligently working to teach our in- school students and virtual students simultaneously. As I visit the classrooms, I note that the teachers don’t miss a beat and manage to include everyone in the learning process.
Every year we are thankful for so many Holy Rosary families and friends of Holy Rosary who have stepped forward to help us move to new heights. This past year, despite the virus, we were abundantly blessed. Whether it was a monetary gift or the gift of time, we have accomplished so much because of the generosity of our benefactors. We have kept you apprised of the changes as a result of these gifts, and we will continue to do so.
Throughout the year, we pray for our family and friends who have passed in our lives, but in November we especially remember them on November 2nd, All Soul’s Day. We pray that they are enjoying eternal life with our loving God. We will continue to pray for you and your families. Thank you for your partnership to keep the students and staff safe at school.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and take time to be good to yourselves.God’s Graces to you!
Mrs. Gilman

Pastor's Corner
Dear Parents and Guardians:
November is a month of thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day is probably the closest we come to a national holy day. On the fourth Thursday of November, we give thanks to God for “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
November is an opportune time to give thanks to God also for One Faith, One Family, One School as members of our Holy Rosary Region Catholic School Community. We likewise give thanks to God for all Catholic schools and the Catholic education and faith formation they provide.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!
God Bless You,
